Please Carefully Read the Iowa Bible Camp Statement of Faith

  • The Bible is inspired of God, inerrant in the original documents, and of final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
  • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  Father, Son, and Spirit.
  • The Lord Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was born of a virgin and is sinlessly perfect.  His sacrifice is substitutionary and representative.  He arose bodily from the dead and ascended to His Father’s right hand, where He now ministers as our Great High Priest.   He will come to rapture His church and subsequently return to reign on the Earth.
  • Each member of the Human race is fallen, sinful, and lost, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for the salvation of man.  Redemption is wholly by the blood of Christ, and salvation is by grace, through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Every true child of God possesses eternal life, and being justified, sanctified, and sealed with the Holy Spirit, is safe and secure for all eternity.
  • The Holy Spirit indwells the believer, who is thus empowered to lead a godly life.
  • There will be a resurrection of the saved unto eternal life, and of the lost to eternal and conscious judgment.
  • There are two Christian ordinances, baptism and the Lords Supper.  Baptism by immersion signifies that the believer, having died with Christ, is buried with Him (over) in baptism and is raised with Christ to walk in newness of life.  The Lords Supper is a memorial feast, instituted by the Lord Himself exclusively for His own.
  • The personal, imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to translate His Church will be followed by the Tribulation and the inauguration of Christ’s reign over the Earth.  He will then deliver up the Kingdom to God the Father that the Triune God may be all in all.

 

If you have any reservations or questions regarding any part of this application including agreeing to the statement of faith, please contact Stefan Johnson to discuss, (stefanjohnson@lycos.com), or phone number 712-243-1371.
